Nov.27 (GMM) Robert Kubica has renewed his criticism of the BMW-Sauber team

The 23-year-old Pole won his and the German team’s maiden grand prix in Canada, and left North America with the lead in the drivers’ world championship

He stayed in contention for the sport’s biggest prize until late in the season, but had a disastrous last couple of races and ultimately finished fourth

Earlier in 2008, Kubica outlined has belief that BMW-Sauber were more focused on consolidating its third place in the constructors’ championship, and bringing the struggling Nick Heidfeld back up to speed, than winning the drivers’ title

“In the last two or three months, I had the feeling that the team and I were no longer pursuing the same goal,” he confirmed in interview with Formule 1 Race Report
